I would like to respond to comments made by State Sen. Shirley Turner, D-Mercer, who said that the Second Amendment does not entitle people to own automatic or semi-automatic weapons: “When the Constitution was written, all they had was a musket. I don’t have a problem with everybody owning a musket.”

Since she feels so strongly about the Second Amendment, perhaps she should also look at the First Amendment. Since there were no typewriters or computers when the Constitution was written, hereafter she should do all her writing in longhand!

And, although it’s not constitutionally connected, she should not be using any modern means of travel, nor anything else modern, for that matter. She should therefore either walk or deliver her diatribes on horseback.
